Derek fonseca, russian jew mafia boss tony and colombian bartender oscar are in on this scam in miami beach getting desperate underqualified individuals to hand over their money hand over fist.  They charge you five hundred dollars and make up stories off fake success dream bartending job inspired on the movie cocktail.  

Please lets stop these bastards i am askin everyone who got affected to please hit up the news team and lets set up a sting operations on these bastards who ever does this will get national oprah attention as these thieves also leave a whole door open for other job scams across the country such as soliciting pyramid scam like universal media that works with smart circle that have offices nationwide... this is a nationwide crisis that preys on the unemployed that reach 15% atleast realistically its not 10% according to cnn.  

So realistically speaking up look up derek fonseca and look up south beach bartending schools is a scam.  Please provide your story and many other stories on this website as together we can take down scams like this and give america back real jobs... because people right now a real sense of duty and strong work ethic it is a shame america s work force not only does not have the opportunties to get ahead but is being Mocked and constantly played with being provided with a false sense of hope and wasting time and energy.  All florida bartending schools are a scam. 

lets together tell family and friends. miami beach, florida

South Beach Bartending School Success Students

AUTHOR: Anonymous - Miami Beach (United States of America)

My girlfriends and I attended this school when we first moved to Miami and we all feel like it was the best thing that has ever happened to us! We didn't know a thing about bartending or the night life in Miami and Derek was kind enough to explain everything to us and help us to make the right choice to attend the school.  We have all been working non-stop for the past year and have more work coming to us than we know what to do with! Bartending school is not a scam, it is great if you are looking to bartend and need to learn the in's and out's and yeah you may pay for it (in which South Beach Bartending was kind enough to work out a payment plan so you don't have to pay for it all up front) but if you study hard and get what you paid out of it, there is NO REASON why you can't make it back in 2 shifts! Bartending school is just like any other trade school and either you can make it or you can't.

NUMBERS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES

AUTHOR: alejandro mendoza - miami (United States of America)

DEREK FONSECA AND FAKE TRADE SCHOOL also mentioned to fake it until you make it ...he tells you to LIE about job experience and his FAMOUS JOB PLACEMENT copy and paste from craigslist. WHY DOES HE LIE OR TELL YOU TO LIE? WHEN THERE IS NO JOB PLACEMENT. When REAL jobs such as HOTELS and BUSY CLUBS ask about experience people will LAUGH  at you in your face WHen you mention SOUTH BEACH BARTENDING SCHOOLS  as they will know you have zero experience thats why u went there in the first place...I bet derek, tony , and oscar never paid a penny for THEIR TRADE.   TO BE  a bartender one must start as a barback realistically speaking then as with all things in life you move up the ladder.  no one is ceo the first day there is no ceo school..... ANYWAYS unless you lie about your experience and you are a sexy person as soon as you starts working you will not know wat to do when people start askin you for things... or when the boss notices that your slow your gonna come out as a liar...NO good place where people want to work W or liv will hire a fresh out of loser school south beach bartending school.  ITS NOT COINCIDENCE i kid  you not i found a fellow fake south beach bartending school attendee she NOT ONLY  tells me she got fired because its obvious she lacks skills that only come natural with time...AND ALSO  doesnt recommend south beach bartending schools when people ask her ITS NO COINCIDENCE.. i pretty sure the lil secretary at fake south beach bartending school filed for a rebutal, or you and your wife must be really attractive people and must have attending harvard.......the REAL Harvard not harvard bartending school where derek has received his highest level of education.  It is a known fact that no hotel, bar, restaurant or club will NOT  hire a fresh out of bartendee school specially a fake school that moves locations all the time..EXPLAIN TO ME  or the READING PUBLIC  why many graduates have failed to find a job... but this school graduates desperately UNEMPLOYED people faster than  MCDONALDS make burgers on wednesday and sundays WITH their 39cent cheeseburgers...ITS NO COINCIDENCE I AM UNEMPLOYED WITH SOO MANY OTHERS graduates or should i say fellow UNEMPLOYED WHO GOT SCAMMED .  WHY PAY 400 TO REMEMBER A LIST? WHY PAY WHEN YOU CAN WATCH COCKTAIL FOR FREE?  WHY PAY IF YOU NEVER EVEN GET DRUNK IN BARTENDING SCHOOL? ITS LIKE THE KID THAT WENT TO COLLEGE AND NO DRUGS NEVER HEARD OF THAT...save your money go to college.PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM FAKE BARTENDING SCHOOLS AS THERE IS NO LEGAL REQUIREMENT IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA FOR A FAKE LICENSE TO BE A BARTENDER. WHY DOES SOUTH BEACH BARTENDING FAKE SCHOOL HAVE AN f or F ACCORDING TO THE RATINGS IN THE BBB...the better bureau of business.  THATS NO LIE.  did you and you wife hire yourself in your own bar or are you making drinks at home?  there are no shortcuts in life...thats why dave thomas, WENDYS, FOUNDER, has square burgers YOU CANT CUT CORNERS IN LIFE WATCH, CNBC ,FIRST IN BUSINESS

All bartending schools are a scam

AUTHOR: Ogirl77 - Eugene (United States of America)

As a bar owner, everyone I've hired from a bartending school has been fired.  These schools are nothing but a scam and when I lived in Miami and met Derek, I could see right through him immediately.
